2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, February 7, 1979 Mayor Plans Report From Page One yet. "I don't think it's good for eoe to read about their salaries efore they even know about them," he said. Mayor Rickard admitted that negotiations with non-union staff had taken place and two or three meetings had been held on this mat- ter. He indicated that salary in- creases will be in store for non-union staff, adding that it is necessary for the municipality to pay its em- ployees rates similar to what other municipalities are willing to pay. Compared to some municipalities, Newcastle's staff is often under-paid the mayor added. Averages In an article Monday, the Oshawa Times reported that salary in- creases averaging 9.1 per cent were on the verge of being approved by Newcastle Council. Mayor Rickard said he believed that figure was not correct. The article also said that, the town's non-union employees would receive a total of $40,026 in wage in- creases this year. It was noted that MPP Dons Skates to Open Invitation Two-Game Series the director of planning would receive the highest salary hike, receiving $3,500 more in 1979. Mayor Rickard said he would check the $40,0000 figure and include it in his upcoming report. Union Replies Prompted by word of the set- tlement apparently being offered to non-union staff, the town's union employees have requested similar raises. A spokesman for Local 74 of the Canadian Union of Public Em- ployees has asked for wage in- creases in the new CUPE contract along the lines of what is recom- mended for salaried personnel. In an interview yesterday, regional councillor Ann Cowman said she would not be in favor of the suggested raise at the present time. "I don't think it is in the best interest of the people I represent, to support it," she said. However, she added that she is reserving the right to change her mind on this matter. Councillor Cowman said the salary issue had been "kicking around" for several weeks. arking Lot From Page One parking stalls including those within one block of the main street. In ad- dition, there are 20 off-street parking stalls in the municipally-owned arking lot beside the community all and a fufther 31 off-street stalls are being provided by the businessmen. This makes a total of 133 parking stalls. The Chamber of Commerce in Newcastle Village has been pushing for additional off-street parking for two years and during the study mer- chants expressed concern that more parking should be provided because of the anticipated residential growth of the area. The most logical location for such a parking lot is vacant town-owned property behind the old fire hall. As a result of the parking study, the public works department has recommended that present on-street parking stalls be metered, that a parking lot on the land behind the old fire hall not be constructed at this time and that no further action be taken regarding this matter until a District Plan for the village of Newcastle is completed. These recommendations were received for information by the finance and ad- ministration committee, meaning no action was taken. "Stupidity" Councillor Barr referred to the committee's non-action as "absolute stupidity." He said the land behind the fire hall is lying fallow and has a good base. It would cost little to clean it up and turn it into a municipal parking lot, he argued. In many cases it is already being used by some for parking. "It seems to me the town has wasted more money and time than this thing will cost when it's done - and it's going to be done. -We've already paid for the land, we're just asking for assistance to provide parking facilities in the village. Councillor Barr said he thought far too much is being made out of such a simple request. "It's time a decision was made. I believe the money is available, it's just a matter of deciding where to take it from." As for the recommendation that on-street parking be metered, Coun- cillor Barr said "I don't go along with metering and you'll find the village won't go along with it either." Mayor Garnet Rickard suggested the lot be funded by the municipality and the money could be returned out of funds arising from future development in the village.

Stan Pachocki, president of the Board of Directors for the condominium corporation, told the Statesman this week that animal control officers may not enter property owned by the condominium to restrain an animal. Mr. Pachocki explained that it would be considered tres- passing for the animal control officers to venture onto the property. As a result, stray animals would have to be brought to the animal control officer outside of the condo- minium grounds. "There is no way that I'm going to try to restrain a Doberman," Mr. Pachocki said. He added that he hopes the regulation can be changed to allow animal control services on the property. He argued that if the condominium were forced to hire a skilled person to act as an animal control officer, the residents would be paying for animal control services twice - once through taxes and once through maintenance fees. "As far as I'm concern- ed, somebody's getting ripped off," Mr. Pachocki said. Residents are already pay- ing for services such as snow plowing and trash pickup through maintenance fees. The Newcastle Condo- minium Corporation Number Two is responsible for 44 units in a condominium develop- ment on Martin Rd.
